†
Discussion Superscript prints full-sized characters with a baseline higher
than the normal characters. Subscript prints full-sized characters
with a baseline lower than the normal characters. When the
control code is received, all characters are superscript or
subscript until reset by ESC T or printer reset. (This differs from
the Epson standard, which utilizes half-size characters for
superscript and subscript printing.)
You can print both superscript and subscript characters in the
same character column by using the Backspace (BS) control
code, but these characters will not print when double high
printing is in effect.
If Superscript/Subscript is combined with Double High (ESC w)
printing,
only Double High printing will occur.
Example The following sample illustrates superscript and subscript
printing.
